This song was inspired by the term “Chunnibyou” which ZUN mentioned in the notes in Dateless Bar “Old Adam”. Basically Chunnibyou is a syndrome comes from middle school students. For more information, please refer to this website.

We haven’t had a duet song from RD since -hisoka-. nayuta is so good in -manima- up to now. I think, just a little more, she would perform well as in -utsutsu-. I haven’t got used to this duet so I’m not impressed yet. They are good individuals but I’m looking for more.

The color code, I’m not so sure. There are some lines in the chorus nayuta backs up Merami and vice versa so it’s pretty hard to define which voice. Just leave it alone for now.

Purple = Merami (Maribel)Brown = nayuta (Renko)Black = Both

Releska’s Translation Notes:
(1) The original term for ‘satellites’ used in the text is ‘sputnik’ (スプートニク)
(2) In these sections, one vocalist starts her line, then the second vocalist sings her line, then they both finish the first line together.
(3) In all three of these sections, ‘old motif’ is sung, but it is written as ‘original imagination’ (原初の想像), ‘original conception’ (原初の発想), and ‘original fantasy’ (原初の空想) respectively.
(4) World, ideals, and illusion are all sung as ‘dream/s’ (夢)
(5) ‘Mysteries’ is sung, but ‘Chuunibyou’ (中二病) is written.
